One Week Gone..........


It has been a full week since starting WW.  So far so good.  I am still getting used to the program and the foods we can eat and the points.  I have learned that, even though it gives you points for wings and burgers, doesn't mean you have them everyday.  LOL. 
I am eating more now and have smaller portions.  I still have extra points at the end of the day.  So I am trying to figure out how to use them all.  Any help?
I will be going to my first WW meeting this Friday.  And I will get an official weigh in.  I weighed my self at week at home, but I know it was not accurate.  I have a cast on my leg and I know I was not balanced right on the scale.  But we will see.  To be honest, I am not worried about the weight or what the scale says.  I think the number on the scale is incidental and I am more worried about inches and being healthy.

It's not so bad. But it still sucks!


I had a hard cast put on more than a week ago.  It feels much better and it is healing nicely.  The doctor is pleased with how well and quickly the bone is healing.  I won't need surgery on it either.  He said the break was not all the way through the bone.
The worse part of all this is that I cannot do anything.  I cannot put any weight on the leg and I have to get around on crutches.  I need someone to get me things and carry things for me.  I am completely at the mercy of those around me and I hate it.  I cannot drive or go too far from home alone because it is sooooo much work to just walk with crutches and not be able to use both legs.  Anyway, only a few more weeks and the doctor said he will put me in a soft cast so I can walk.  We'll see.
Now for the exciting news.  Since I cannot get around easily and cannot carry things while using the crutches, and have to depend on people to bring me things, I have lost 21 lbs. since June.  So I figure if I keep going I should be down about 60 lbs. by the time the cast comes off.  One could only hope.
